Focusing on Western Architecture from ancient times to the 21st<br />
century, this module introduces students to the history of architecture<br />
and engages them in a critical reading of buildings and urban settings.<br />
Buildings, cityscapes, plans, and drawings are used to illustrate how<br />
architecture reflects the culture of specific geographical locations<br />
in diverse historical moments. In addition, architectural artifacts<br />
are analysed from different perspectives (social, cultural, economic,<br />
institutional, etc.) with the goal of helping students acquire skills in<br />
understanding the built environment and develop a critical attitude<br />
toward architectural projects of the past, the present and the future.<br />
The module is delivered mostly through lectures and readings but it<br />
also includes drawing and written exercises that initiate students to<br />
the analysis and interpretation of architectural exemplars. This aims<br />
to increase their familiarity with architectural history to foster future<br />
design thinking. A short research essay based on independent research<br />
is written by each student. In it each student discusses a specific building<br />
or urban setting. Some sessions are delivered by a Language Centre<br />
tutor who assists students with language and study skills. Students are<br />
also provided with online language and study skills support to help them<br />
engage with the module’s content.<br />
